1. Eventually deep cleaning my entire apartment.
2. Eventually organizing all of my storage cages (down the hall from my apartment and not shared with anyone else, though still in public spaces that require masks).
3. Eventually scanning, saving, and shredding all of my papers that I'm not keeping, such as receipts and product manuals.
4. Eating healthier.
5. Reversing high blood sugars.
6. Improving physical health.
7. Walking more outside.
8. Taking vitamins more consistently.
9. Paying off all of my credit cards and then saving to move.
10. Using up all of my nonperishables or donating some of them. I plan to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, or at least frozen fruits and vegetables going forward.
11. Improving my daily and weekly routines.
12. Learning how to read music.
13. Learning how to read Shakespeare.
14. Setting aside things for donations.
15. Losing weight.
16. Getting the doctor visits I need out of the way (physical, PAP, colposcopy, vision w/contacts exam, mammogram).
17. Getting the 4th booster in time.
18. Getting my flu shot when needed.
19. Going through my vaccines list to see what is coming due for my other vaccine needs.
20. Organizing my hard drives (all external now).
21. Planning an out-of-state move either in 2022 or later.
22. Planning to reconnect with my biological daughter (she was adopted).
23. Continuing to wear N95 or N99 masks wherever I go during the daytime, with a different type of mask on top of that (i.e., double-masking).
24. Continuing to use goggles to protect my eyes from debris and anything potentially falling on me whenever I'm working on dumping trash, organizing my storage, dumping recycling, getting mail, etc., in the middle of the night. If I'm just going out for a walk outside, I won't wear goggles at all.
25. Continuing to maintain good hygiene, including hand washing to reduce pathogens and showering after returning from any outing.
26. Being debt-free by the end of the year.
27. Finding a "reverse diabetes" plan to prevent my getting diagnosed with prediabetes. I meet the lower range for prediabetes, but I'm 2 points or whatever short of being diagnosed with prediabetes. I'm doing what I can to reverse it, but slowly. It requires a lifestyle change, not a one-time diet.
28. Finding a treatment plan (or even self-help plan) for my chronic fatigue syndrome.
29. Continuing in psychotherapy online - twice a week - if my T allows.
30. Continuing music therapy online - once a week for individual, and once a week for group - all online since they are in another state.
31. Continuing recreation rehab activities through the VA.
32. Continuing check-ins at the local Vet Center.
33. Maintaining the in-person friends I have and trying to slowly build from there.
34. Maintaining the long-distance friends I've had over the years and decades. That's a given.
35. Removing toxic relationships and not giving room to let them fester in my life, especially during these pandemic and stressful times. I don't need constant discord, arguments, and risky behaviors around me.
36. Reinventing my purpose and exploring that. What I used to want to do is no longer my goal. My career plans are gone - a loss that I'm going to take a year to grieve over, even though I've lost this plan for a while now, but it was more official since 2020. I haven't been able to grieve over this properly, so I plan to find support groups for that. I won't have a true purpose in life for a while. This pandemic has brought too many obstacles to my life, and the future remains uncertain.
37. Sticking to my boycotting certain businesses and enterprises and social media sites.
38. Finding new television shows to watch and/or catch up on, and finding new movies to watch.
39. Using music as a tool for energy, relaxation, healing, and mood modulation.
40. Continuing the coping skills and building from there while also asking my T about any new directions she can take in our treatment plan together.
